Hey, guys, I've designed an entry for the Union Hall t-shirt design contest. Let me know what you think.

Sorry to Riff if I'm blowing up your spot...

I just want to say congrats to Riff on tending bar at Gorilla Coffee! From someone who knows it well, being unemployed sucks. Perhaps we can get some satellite feed if you ever have to work during a game. That or I can draw dirty pictures on bar napkins. Whatever better depicts the mood.

Today's Game: Oh How the Mighty Have Fallen

From what I hear, we did not win today. Fear not. I heard we had spirit and that's a start. We have 2 games next Sunday and I will be back in town ready to kick ass and take names later.

A side note was the appearance of Colin Lewis, a friend of mine and Jay's. He's just moved to Park Slope and is in his last semester of college. He borrowed my shirt to play and apparently he was pretty good. Will he be a new member of the team? Time will only tell. In the meantime, let us preserve the moment in pictures...

T-Shirt Design Contest

An email from Laddy Bocce
bklynbocce@gmail.com:

Hope everyone is ready for the kickoff weekend. We're looking forward to getting started.



This year we're hosting a contest for the design of the official Union Hall Bocce League Tee-shirt. The winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to Union Hall and will beam with pride when they see sloppy drunkards wearing their shirts.



Here are the parameters:

· Design will be on the front of the shirt. We'll put the name of the bar and the league season on the back.

· The design should be black and white, or a single color.



So spread the word to your teammates. Submissions should be in by Feb 23. JPEGS can be sent to me at this address. Make sure to identify yourself and your team when sending submissions.



Good luck,

LB

Practice anyone?

So, our first game is Sunday @ 2:30


Who's up for a practice?



I'm thinking about Saturday afternoon... Union Hall opens at noon...


Also, remember a $2 spot on Sunday for league fees.





BOCCEE ON!!

SPRING SEASON BEGINS!

First game of the season:

Sunday, Jan. 28th @ 2:30 vs. Bocce Army

I will not be back in the States, but I will be cheering you all on from South America.

I have posted the Spring Schedule as it stands in the right-hand column. Please refer to it if you have any schedule questions. I have also made the pdf version and the word doc with the rules available for download under "Bocce Links".

Good luck team!

Jobless in NYC

Yes ladies and gentlemen, I, Riff Richards have quit my job. As awesome as it is to be out of a job you dont like, it is a bummer to not have money. If anyone wants to buy me a drink (or has any job leads) let me know. Thanks! -r'kins

Possible New Uniforms?

Came across this.

Not serious. Just thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Apologies to those who are not Jay Casey or Matt Drumm

The New Season Begins

Hey guys, so the new season is on. I have submitted our entry. The league will begin the weekend of 1/27 and end the weekend of 4/14. Finals are the weekends of 4/28 and 5/5. I have suggested Sunday again, so supposedly our first game might be the 28th of January.

There is a $20 fee for a team to sign up now, which they are doing to make sure each team is a little more serious and won't drop out halfway through. It would be nice if everyone pitched in $2 for the team signup. I won't be there for the first game as I don't get back until February 1st, so someone will have to cover us for the first weekend, and I will reimburse them when I return.

So there you have it. Another chance to show this league how to play some fucking bocce. I want to hear some suggestions for the team award for the best player of the game. Check out the "Plenty Good Award" in the right hand column for details.

Let's bring it!

Lame Trivia

Okay, I guess somebody has to kick this off. Here's one deep and right in the center.

Which one is a parody. And which one is painfully real.

An email from Lady Bocce

So, as you may or may not know, I get all my info on Union Hall from a mass email list that is sent to me by Lady Bocce. Here is her most recent email. It proclaims to answer questions, but all it really does is assure us that bocce is still on for the Spring... Damn right it is!

Hi there!

I hope you're all recovered from NYE and having a grand old time getting back into the swing of things at work, etc.

I've had a few queries regarding the upcoming season, so let me quell any fears and ignite anticipation by declaring: There will be more bocce in 2007. Soonish. It will be more exciting than ever!

Anyway, we haven't worked out anything solid yet, ie, start dates, schedule, number of teams... but the same days (Sat, Sun & Mon) will be league-friendly. As soon as we get our shit together, I'll be sending out the alert and you can register yourselves.

As always, let me know if you have any questions.

Yours,

Lady Bocce

So basically you're telling me to hurry up and wait. Thanks again for more confusion, Union Hall. Sigh.
